1.

The phrase ‘symbolic organisations’ is borrowed from Paul Strohm, who emphasises that ‘the peculiarity of medieval space involves the extent to which it is already symbolically organised by the meaning-making activities of the many generations that have traversed it’. See Strohm, 2000, 3. Other recent work on the medieval city and its textuality which has influenced this project includes Wallace, 2004, Hanawalt and Reyerson, 1994, and Butterfield, 2006, as well as broader theoretical underpinnings such as Lefebvre, 1991 and de Certeau, 2002.
